Jasmine


Jasmine is a 3 1/2 year old spayed female Rottie mix she is fine with dogs don't know about cats. Seems to be housetrained.


It is Benji - I live in Culpeper. I can pull these dogs under my 501c3, if you can get anyone to step up to the plate to foster/save them. My house is full and I am in the process of re-wiring, which means I am up to my skinny butt with electrical issues and cannot under those circumstances foster any of them, with old dogs here as well. Let me know what I can do to assist. Please keep in mind that I have lived in Culpeper for 20 yrs and even though we have a relatively new shelter, this is a killing field. Once the new shelter was built, nothing really changed. Shelter could not pass the State Vet inspections for cleanliness for several years. So, the staff of 10 full time paid figured that if they did not feed the dogs, then the dogs would not poop. Guess that was a creative way of getting around cleaning kennels and getting a very good salary.

At any rate, I can pull dogs for you, but I can not foster them at the present time due to my personal circumstances. Let me know if any of you can take them or others in the future and I will do my best to get them out. I have to be careful as Culpeper has their "higher than God list - which says that none of us in Culpeper can have more than 3 dogs or we will be cited under their code". Rest assured, I am an offender, and so are so many of us in Culpeper. After all, we do save the entire county tax money because we take the dogs/cats, we vet them, and they (the shelter does not pay to feed, vet, or spay/neuter them).

I guess I will be a Culpeper "criminal" for the rest of my time here. If my computer is down due to electrical work, please call me at home 540-825-7304 if I can help any of you save dogs.

Respectfully yours,

Sweet Pea


My Name is Sweet Pea


Do you need love? I’ve got plenty!
They identify me as a 55 lb. Australian Sheppard approximately 2 years old. I was named Sweet Pea by the two vet techs who thought I was just so sweet! I was found in a yard under a car in Georgia assumed abandoned due to the high number of foreclosed homes in the area. I seem to have lived off yard mushrooms, so she’ll still grab one when walking. Attempts to find my family failed & I had no chip. Luckily I was rescued by an old lady who that very week was returning to live in Virginia. So she backed me in with her other 3 dogs – and off I came to VA. Prior to leaving GA I got my rabies shot and was found heartworm positive. That old lady said I was just too sweet – so she got me treated in Waynesboro by some very nice people at Commonwealth and I am all better now. I recently got spayed too. So I’m ready for a home and someone to really love me… my own family.
The old lady doesn’t have kids, but I seem to respond favorably to them. I have lots of energy and need a fenced yard to run in. I have been an inside dog, well house trained. I am a great car traveler with long and short distance trips. I seem pretty true to my breed as I gently paw the little dog (3 pounds) in the house in an effort to herd her some times. I’m curious about cats, but again – she doesn’t have any. I play with the middle dog running in the GA yard when visiting – its fenced. I seem passive with the biggest dog in the house always being polite and respectful to her near 90 pounds. I know some basic commands and catch on fast. I walk daily with the big dogs. I am not food aggressive and will let you touch me or hold my bowl when I eat, but I will need some more work in this area. I have some cute ways – like I’ll dance on two legs for dinner, sitting my head on your leg while you work, climbing between or onto your legs for love, or sitting with my paws crossed while the old lady works at her desk. I know to stay out of the kitchen and I’ll sit there patiently waiting at the threshold. I will come with a bed, lead, gentle leader, heart worm pills for several months and my current dog food. I chewed my bowl – so it won’t be coming with me. I am a great dog and you would love me because I will love you back fully.

Bentley


Bentley is a sweet 3 year old Shepherd Mix who unfortunately made a bad decision.His human pulled him from under a table by his back haunches and unfortunately Bentley bit him.
His humans were going to put him down – but Megan Caston asked them to reconsider and board him while they tried to rehome him.
Bentley is a somewhat shy and cautious but very loving boy who could use another chance.
According to Megan, he is not an aggressive dog and has always been one of her favorite boarders.
